Abstract:
Bailey discusses how Ashley Futrell purchased the WASHINGTON DAILEY NEWS, a newspaper with a beleaguered staff and circulation of 2,700, and built it into an 11,000-circulation paper now worth millions. Heart trouble forced him to turn the paper over to his son Brownie, and it was under Brownie's guidance that articles on dangerous cancer-causing chemicals in the city's water that won the paper a 1990 Pulitzer Prize. The senior Futrell was recently named to the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame.
